I am going to use the CitiAssist loan to finance my first year. The rate that I got was Prime + 1% = 6% with no origination fees. The CitiAssist has a min of Prime + . 5 and max of 9%. Btw, Prime = 5% at the moment. Also be aware that Prime was 8.25 this time last year. However, Prime should stay relatively stable (not sure for how long) given the current US economic environment. http://www.bankrate.com/brm/ratewatch/leading-rates.asp So far CitiAssist is the most attractive and even more so than the Federal Stafford loan at 6.8% (available to only US citizens). Factors to consider would be whether your co signer is a US citizen and what is his or her credit history. Below are links to CitiAssist. Don't worry you have plenty of time.
